Medical update

Pardon my French, but I still have %#&! MRSA. Just got my follow-up results and they are positive. I am now on another antibiotic--my fifth since Alex was born (isn't too many antibiotics how these nasty bugs are developed in the first place?!)--and I have an appointment to see an infectious disease doctor. The worst part is that my right boob feels like there's an implant in it and it's so sore I can't even hold Alex to my chest. Ugh. I don't want to be Debbie Downer on this blog but I can't help it...I am so upset about this. Nick can't even talk about it he's so pissed. And there's nothing we can do about it. We are going to take Alex to his doctor today to make sure--*again--*that he's OK. I can't imagine how livid I'd be if this were happening to him.

There is some good news to report today, though. My final PCR cancer test that I took the day before I started Gleevec came back negative. So I don't have cancer but I now have a superbug. Go figure. You win some and you lose some, I guess. --Erin
